So, just to recap, eight days after the U.S. intelligence community certifies “with high confidence” that Iran halted its nuclear weapons work no less than four years ago, the UN is in talks with the Iranian regime about why it, in fact, hasn’t halted anything of the sort.


Ohhhh....kay....


*sigh*

This is the reason that I try to import the ENTIRE article, not just the parts that bolster my argument. Yeah, I may be accused of "cutting and pasting" but at least it spares everyone blatantly misleading (by omission) posts like yours.

Let me fill in a gap:

 Quote:
In 2003, the IAEA revealed other incidents where traces of weapons-grade uranium were found elsewhere in the country, but Iran said those traces came from imported equipment that had been contaminated before it was purchased.

IAEA findings in 2005 vindicated Iran, saying the traces of highly enriched uranium were found on centrifuge parts that had entered the country already contaminated and were not a result of Iranian nuclear activities. The centrifuge parts were bought from Pakistan.

The IAEA delegation in Monday talks was headed by Herman Nackartes, head of the watchdog's Safeguard Operations department.

In its November report, the IAEA also said it requested access to documents, individuals and relevant equipment and locations for sample-taking to determine the source of the contamination.

Iran officials taking part in the talks must answer all IAEA questions about how the uranium particles got to the university.

While Iran has responded to many IAEA questions about past nuclear activities such as P-1 and P-2 centrifuges, a technology used to enrich uranium, some issues still remain unresolved, such as the university contamination.


Which is all good and fine. They need to answer for that particular contamination. Based on your posting however, you act as if it's some smoking gun that vindicates all the Iran hysteria. The article clearly shows that this has been an issue before and it's been shown to have been due to prior contamination before Iran purchased the parts.

So it'd be prudent to still hold back on the fighter jets, Tex.
